Not everyone was happy with Willard's decision to leave Maryland for Villanova, as his move reignited some controversy around coaches changing schools.

Maryland coach Kevin Willard declined to say whether he had spoken to Villanova administrators about its open coaching vacancy following a season-ending 87-71 loss to No. 1 seed Florida in the Sweet 16 on Thursday.

But then, on Wednesday at his press conference ahead of Thursday’s game, Willard was asked about Maryland football head coach Mike Locksley’s comments on the desire to keep things in-house. In response, the head coach completely side-stepped the question in a non-discreet way.
